SUMMARY:Workshop | Bodies\, health and medicine in Oceania
DESCRIPTION:The islands of Oceania have long been perceived as scattered and isolated\, whereas the ties that bind them are strong\, based on thousands of years of trade and exchange. Oceanian thinker Epeli Hau’ofa pointed out this paradox and invited us to think of Oceania as a myriad of peoples all connected by exchanges and a common history\, rather than an ocean dotted with isolated islands\, which was a biased colonial view (Hau’ofa 1994). This epistemological shift\, parallel to the decolonisation of science\, has been at the heart of Oceanian thought and guides our approach to the social sciences of health in this region: work on health in anthropology\, ethnobotany\, history\, epidemiology\, political science or demography may seem fragmented and disconnected\, divided along geographical or linguistic lines inherited from colonial histories that affect health care systems as well. We believe that links need to be forged between researchers in the region and their metropolitan counterparts in order to structure the social sciences of health around epistemological and methodological questions rooted in Oceanian thought and to bring out the richness of Oceanian epistemologies in research. \nThe project began in February 2025 with hybrid workshops at MSH Paris Nord and the University of New Caledonia\, followed by a panel dedicated to the European Society for Oceanists (June 2025\, Lucerne\, Switzerland). \nThe project ‘Body\, Health and Medicine in Oceania’ aims to provide a space for reflection and discussion for researchers\, in order to break down barriers and bring together the humanities and social sciences working on these issues. Beyond disciplinary singularities and specificities\, it aims to bring together different schools of thought on the body\, medicine and health in Oceania. It thus aims to raise awareness of Oceanian epistemologies\, which play a central role in healthcare and health issues\, but are little known in mainland France. For example\, it questions the fundamental concept of relationality\, which runs through Oceanian thought and has been used to consider health and social actions (Mila-Schaaf 2006) or to show the importance of the relational dimension and the trust placed in traditional healers in accessing healthcare (Soler 2019; Pidjo 2023). The various events organised as part of the project will explore these themes through new subjects – hospitals\, medical evacuations\, therapeutic mobility – or more conventional ones – traditional medicine\, conceptions of the body and good health. \nThe workshop from 22nd to 24th April 2026 will bring together guest researchers from Europe\, the United States\, Canada and Oceania at MSH Paris Nord. They are funded through co-financing from MSH Paris Nord\, F3S\, the Pacific Fund and the University of Halle (Germany). They will result in a proposal for a special issue to be submitted to the journal Oceania. \nProgramme\nMercredi 22 avril 2026/Wednesday 22nd April\, MSH Paris Nord\, salle panoramique \n\n9:00 – 9:30: Accueil café/Welcome coffee\n9:30-11:00: Présentations/Papers’ presentations:\n\nWhy do our people die?

SUMMARY:Conférence internationale | Heritage and the Metropolis
DESCRIPTION:Heritage dynamics in the urban peripheries\nHow might we study and understand metropolises and heritage as not just things\, but forces for\, and processes of\, change? How might these two dynamics intersect with and model one another? \nMetropolitan cities are well understood to be in the course of constant change: cities expand\, and swallow up other ones; new connections are formed; new consciousnesses come into being. The city’s edges push ever outward into the suburbs or the hinterland. \nHeritage\, on the other hand\, certainly in the guide of preservation is often constructed as resistance to change; and yet is not static: conceptions of what is heritage (or not) continually shift\, producing new campaigns for preservation or destruction. \nIn no part of the metropolis is this shifting nature of both the city and heritage more evident than on their edges: the part of the city where buildings and places seem to be at their most ephemeral\, in which buildings and places are produced and destroyed rapidly\, and often seemingly without care\, as if there was no heritage there at all. \nThis conference engages with these edges – of both city and heritage – in order to study them together and to understand the ways in which their dynamic and endless processes of change intersect\, asking\, most simply: how does metropolitan development affect heritage\, and conversely\, how do developing notions of heritage affect metropolitan development? \n>> télécharger le programme complet (pdf)/download full program (pdf) \n>> en savoir plus sur l’exposition ALT-HER/more information about the ALT-HER exhibition \nProgramme/Program\nDay 1 : 23 avril 2026/23 April 2026 \n\n9:30 – 10:00 : Opening Session\navec Maria Gravari Barbas (université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne) et Edward Hollis (university of Edinburgh)\n11:15 – 13:00 : Parallel Sessions\n\nSession 1 : Collective memory\, community activism and Heritage in the urban peripheries\nmodérée par Sébastien Jacquot (IREST\, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne)\navec Íngrid Castañé\, Aysegul Boyali\, Bernardo De La Vega\, Fabian Frenzel\, Camila Moreas\, Isabella Rega\, Juliana Mainard-Sardon et Raisha Gamba Segovia \nSession 2 : Heritage in the peripheries: governance and planning\nmodérée par Ana Yanez\navec Suzanna Ramiréz\, David García Alvarez\, Robin Larsimont\, Maday Romero\, Alix de La Gaignonnière et Beatriz Martínez \n\n14:00 – 16:00 : Parallel Sessions\n\nSession 3 : Collective memory\, community activism and Heritage in the urban peripheries (cnd)\nmodérée par Maria Garcia Hernandez (universidad Complutense Madrid)\navec Hector Alliaga\, Celia Lopez Bravo\, Marie-Alix Molinié-Andlauer\, Panos Mavros\, Isabelle Garron\, Stéphane Safin et Cécile Doustaly \nSession 4 : (World)Heritage in/off the urban peripheries: the role of stakeholders and of the local communities\nmodérée par Ruxandra Stoica (University of Edinburgh)\, avec Marie Le Devehat\, Armelle Ninnin\, James White\, Sofiane Saadia \n\n16:30 – 18:00 : Round table with stakeholders of the Parisian metropolis (in french\, with simultaneous translation)\navec Dominique Dellac (vice-chair of the Seine-Saint-Denis Departmental Council)\, Ivan Fouquet (association des jardins ouvriers des Vertus)\, Antonio Furio\, (chargé d’inventaire du patrimoine culturel\, Conseil départemental de la Seine-Saint-Denis)\, Elefterios Kehagioglou (director of PPCM\, Bagneux)\, Livia Pareja Del Corso (chargée de projets patrimoine culturel immatériel\, Conseil départemental de la Seine-Saint-Denis)\, Mikaël Petitjean (responsable du développement culturel et patrimonial à La Courneuve (tbc))\, Hélène Saunon (responsable du service Patrimoine et Tourisme\, Plaine Commune)\n18:00 – 18:30 : Presentation of the Heritage Observatory in the urban Peripheries (HOPE)\n18:30 : Vernissage of the exhibition Alt-Her and cocktail\n>> en savoir plus sur l’exposition/more information about the exhibition\n\n\nDay 2 : 24 avril 2026/24 April 2026 \n\n9:00 – 10:45 : Parallel Sessions\n\nSession 5 : Industrial Heritage in the metropolitan peripheries\nmodérée par Juan Carlos Revila (universidad Complutense Madrid)\, avec Minna-Marjukka Kaikkonen\, Shengxi Zeng et Sonia Laloyaux \nSession 6 : Exploring the conceptual and territorial margins of heritage\nmodérée par Sandra Guinand\, avec Alain Bourdin\, Peng Ieng\, Javier García Ferragud\, Adva Matar\, Jovana Janinovic \n\n11:15 – 12:45 : Round Table Collective landscape futures between memory\, margins\, and territorial regeneration – HERITOPOLIS\navec Antonella Contin (Heritopolis\, the MetroHub\, Politecnico di Milano)\, Francesco Bandarin (Heritopolis\, Advisor to the Aga Khan Foundation)\, Michael Turner (Heritopolis – UNESCO Chair)\, David Simon (Heritopolis – Royal Holloway\, university of London) et Olivia Bina (ICS\, Universidad de Lisboa)\, Eric Huybrechts (Heritopolis – Paris Region)\n14:00 – 15:30 : Parallel Sessions\n\nSession 7 : Intangible heritage and arts in the urban peripheries\nmodérée par Juan Martin\, avec Maria Milagros Escobar\, Séverin Guillard\, Sara Iandolo \nSession 8 : Popular and social housing.
